There is really nothing in it; but why had he told her she was his first and only love? Perhaps men always said that to the object of their latest fancy. "Once last night, when you were dancing with Frank," she says, turning to Miss Nugent, and recov- ering her self-possession by an ef- fort, "I looked at you, and both you and he were looking at me. Was he talking of me then?' "Does he ever talk of anything else? A man freshly in love is the most selfish thing on earth. Later on they grow more considerate, and can afford to forget the beloved angel now and then." "Oa hey ?'--wistfully. Will Frank eed learn to forget her at times? 'Yes. What were we saying just then? You asked me if he was talk- ape of you? Yes, entirely. He was telling me of something you had said--I forget what now--and he was laughing. He called you 'such - achild,' I remember. It was some silly little trifle, amusing because of its crudity. He is very devoted to you."' Again the sting is in her tongue. It makes the girl's lips quiver, and ® brinks the light of rebellion to her beautiful eyes. "At seventeen one is not a child. P You make me think he spoke of me as a doll, a baby, a mere play- thing." "Oh, no! Merely as a very young girl. You are young to him, you know: he is quite ten years your senior."' "The advantage there is on my side surely,"--haughtily. 'If I don't mind it, he need not." "Quite so.

"We have been prosing a good deal, have we not? I am afraid I have made the day even duller for you than it really is." "Perhaps it is my fault," says Miss Nugent politely. 'Impossible! You have tried your best to enliven me, and if you asi failed it is my fault. It is the heat, I suppose. Who could have be- lieved in so hot a sun in Septem- ber ?"' Miss Nugent, as though scenting sarcasm in this speech, glances at her sharply; but the girl has risen and has averted her face, and, af- ter a languid attempt at further conversation, quits the room. When the men come in from shooting, however, she reappears in a charming, pale-pink tea-gown, and as Sir George flings himself upon the lounge close beside her she turns to him with new graci- ousness, and lets her lovely- eyes smile into his, and draws away her skirts that he may nestle even near- er to her. "She is rehearsing her new role,"' says Katharine Nugent, taking in all this from afar, with a curl of her lips, and a shrug of her hand- some shoulders, and a most unlove- ly smile of devilish gratification. CHAPTER ITI. At the end of the third day Sir George Grande is as much in love with Miss Disney as his nature will permit. At the end of the week, and when the night is come that is to see the return of Mr. Ponson- by, he has overstepped that limit, and is making an open ass of him- 'self about the youthful beauty, not | without encouragement! For |Mademoiselle JIngenue' during these seven days has developed in- 'to, a subdued but dangerous co- quette. Ponsonby, who has arrived bare- ly in time to change his clothes for dinner (but who has been neverthe- 'less bitterly disappointed that no gracious childish form has met him on his arival to bid him welcome), coming into-the drawing-room twen- ty-five minutes past seven, is some- what taken aback by the tableau that there presents itself to him. Upon a couch, half-shrouded by the lace curtains of the window near it from public view, sits his promised wife, looking lovely as a dream, in Indian muslin and filmy |laces, Sir George Grande beside 'her. The latter is stooping for- ward, gazing intently into her eyes. Upon every line of his good-look- ing face hopeless infatuation is written. Ponsonby, advancing slowly as one walking in his sleep, knocke in- advertently against a spider-legged chair, and sends it to the ground with some noise. Miss Disney starts, looks round, and, seeing who it is coming toward them, colors deeply. It is only a momentary emotion, however, and, conquering it, she rises swiftly, but with inherent grace, from her seat, and goes to meet him. Her self-possession is complete: "You have come?" she says, with a smile most lovely, but studiously indifferent. "Yes.'"' If his life depended up- on it, Ponsonby could say no more. He is feeling stunned, bewildered, lost! Here is this girl, whom he had left believing her his own, standing before him now in her radiant beauty, clothed in careless smiles, and with a touch of some- thing new (ie it triumph?) upon her parted lips. He turns away, sick at heart: Finding her alone later on in the evening, he says quietly "You and Sir George seem to be quite good friends." "'T like him very much," she says, gently enough, but with a grain of defiance in her tone which he is not slow to mark. "That I can see for myself," he says, with a rather forced smile. "What an atom out of eternity is a bare week! and yet--" "You found.j+ short, then?' -- glancing at him with a half frown. 'Never mind me," he says, im- patiently. "What of you?' "Why should I submit to an ex- amination from which you shrink?' retorts she, with some hauteur, throwing up her dainty head and making a smile from Lady New- port, who is sitting directly oppo- site, an excuse for leaving him. "What a heavenly night!" says Miss Nugent suddenly, as, drawing back the curtains she lets a rush of glorious moonlight flood. the room. "And the air--how soft and warm! Why not come into the s and enjoy it, as we have ery night for the past week! You and Sir George, "Alye, used to -|be the first to propose it. Now"-- smiling--"you basely throw the re- sponsibility upon my shoulders." "For be it from us," says Sir George lightly. "Class us not among the backsliders. There is something about Miss Disney that always suggests to me a kinship with Diana; not for one moment, therefore, would she, I feel convine- ed, dream of casting a slight upon her illustrious relative. You will come and pay your accustomed court to her, will you not, Miss Disney ?" For a moment she hesitates; al- most a refusal is on her lips, when her eyes chance to fall on Ponson- by's. In his there is open though unconscious rebuke, and it turns the scale in Sir George's: favor. "'Oome,"? she says, holding out her hand to him with a sweet smile prettily tinged with coquetry, and together they step lightly from the drawing-room to the balcony, and. from thence to the gardens--lit by the "wandering moon"' to a trans- parent brilliancy--that lie beneath wrapt in sleep. The others follow. Ponsonby, as though compelled thereto by some iron demon, moves in their train, speaking such idle trash as society demands, even from the heavy-hearted, to Katherine Nugent. But his whole soul is cen- tered on the form of the little will- ful girl flitting before him, now nearer, now a long way off, now fading away altogether in the em- brace of some amorous shadow, only to reappear again in a patch of purest moonlight. At last he really loses sight of her. Two or three people coming up to Katherine engross her in some merry argument and will not let her go. Glad at heart at this chance of being once more alone, Ponsonby moves away from the group, stepping out from it silent- ly. ~ Seeing this, Katharine says gent- ly but hastily, "Go and see the eastern end of the gardens, Frank: it will reward you; it is lovely in this light. You know it ?--that little bit apart, whére the old statue of Apollo stands half shrouded in ivy?' Does he know it? How well he remembers how he stood there with her a week ago and had a sweet but lying tale told him bv a mar- guerite! No, he will not go there again! And yet some fascination draws him through the scented dews and glittering beams to the spot where, seven days ago, he had at least been happy in the thought that he was without a rival; and now-- Now! He had reached Apollo's shrine with downcast eyes; but the sound of voices near him compels him to lift his head. As he does so, he starts, and turns deadly pale. There, in her clinging white gown, scarcely less fair than the moon- beams that riot round her, stands the girl he loves, a freshly plucked marguerite in her hand, and be- side her Sir George Grande. It is a ray from her high-born kinswoman,, or what is it, that makes her appear so pale? She is plucking the flower petal by petal and once again the old-world re- frain comes to Ponsonby across the fragrant sward, borne upon the wings of the night-wing, "She loves you a little--indifferently--passio ately--" '"'Ah! cruel flower! why will it not stop there?' says Sir George, sen- timentally. At this moment the hand that holds the flower droops, and the girl, raising her head, looks calm- ly and defiantly into Ponsonby's eyes. There is no surprise in her glance, no shrinking, it is as if she had known he was there even be- fore she looked. n- 2 (To be continued.) "S MRS.

Wheat, flour, coffee, and sugar have already declined in pies. Fruits are abundant, and a ig potato crop is assured. The president of the Cudahy Packing Company of Chicago announces that low prices in meats, especially in f, are coming soon. The ar- rival of the season of grass-fed cat- tle will bring a heavy run of medi- um priced cattle that will pull down prices with a rush, he says. Pork will fall in price about 10 per cent. in January, and by next summer will be about one-third of its pre- sent price. Food is the chief source of cost to the great majority of workers, and these prospects of lower prices, due to increased sup- ply, instead of the opetninwe of any tariff law, are highly welcome. AFTER THE DAY'S WOR what's more refreshing than a cup of Tea? Be sure it's LIPTON'S TEA Goes farthest for the money HOUSEHOLD GRAPE DELICACIES. Grape Catsup.--Stew five pounds of grapes, stemmed and washed, until soft enough to rub through a colander, leaving out skins and seeds. To the strained pulp add one pint vinegar, two pounds sugar, one-half teaspoon salt and one tablespoonful each of pepper, all- spice, cloves and cinnamon. Boil until thick, bottle and seal. Grape Preserves.--Remove the skins, place them in one pan and the pulp in another. Cook pulp un- til soft, then run it through a col- ander to remove the seeds. Add the skins to the strained pulp, measure and put in the same amount of sugar. Boil until it will nearly stay on the spoon when the spoon is turned upside down. Preserves are not bitter or stringy when made this way. Spiced Grapes.--Five pounds of fruit, four pounds brown sugar, one pint vinegar, one tablespoonful each cloves and allspice, and a lit- tle pepper. Cook slowly three or four hours. Grape Jam.--Stew the grapes in a little water and press them through a colander, adding more water to get the pulp through. Boil fifteen or twenty minutes before adding sugar. Measure pulp before putting it on to boil and allow about three-fourths of a cup of su- gar to each cup of pulp. Boil half an hour longer, stirring all the time. Grape Wine.--One gallon of wa- ter to one gallon of grapes. Crush well. Let stand one week without stirring. Then draw off the liquor. To every gallon of wine add three pounds of sugar. Put in a vessel, but do not fasten it at the bung until it is done hissing. When it has stopped working fasten it up and let it stand two months. It will then draw off clear. Bottle, cork and seal. Keep in a dry cel- lar. Grape Pickles.--Grapes must be underripe and firm, and are better if but slightly turned. Pick from the stem and pack into fruit jars. being careful not to break the skins. Make a syrup of one quart yvine- gar, eight cups sugar, one level tea- spoon whole cloves and a heaping teaspoon broken cinnamon tied in a little bag. Bring to the boiling point, cool partially and turn over the grapes. Seal and keep in a dark, cool place. This amount of spiced vinegar is enough for seven pounds of grapes. Green Grape Preserves. -- Cut open six pounds of green grapes and remove the seeds with a sharp knife. Weigh the fruit and use equal quantities of sugar. Put grapes into a kettle, with just enough water to cover; bring to a boil, skim, then sprinkle over the grapes the quantity of sugar allowed. Bring to a boil again, pressing grapes under the syrup, but use care to keep them unbroken. Add more sugar, cooking five minutes. Repeat the process until all the sugar has been used. As soon as the syrup jellies, turn into small jars. When cold the grapes should show distinct in the clear jelly. NEW PINEAPPLE RECIPES. Pineapple Filling fr Cakes. -- Half a pint of grated pineapple, one tablespoonful of orange juice, two tablespeonfuls of lemon juice and some icing sugar; mix together the pineapple, lemon and orange juice and enough icing sugar to make it if consistency to spread. Pineapple Canape.--Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add one pint of shredded pineapple and cook for 10 minutes; add sugar and lemon juice to taste and serve on slices of fried bread or sponge cake; garnish with cream. Pineapple Water Ice.--Having pared and sliced a sufficient num- ber of pineapples, cut the slices in- to small pieces, put them into a deep dish, sprinkle sugar over them and let them stand several hours in a cool place. Secure as much pine- apple juice as possible by squeez- ing the pieces through a sieve; to each pint of juice allow one pint of clarified syrup; mix together while the syrup is warm; freeze in the usual manner.

A good salad is made of stuffed cucumbers, the filling made of diced cucumbers and onions, or cabbage and green pepper salad. Serve on nasturtium leaves. When stitching chiffon; or any such material on the machine, use the finest possible thread and put a strip of thin paper under the goods and stitch them together, then tear away the paper when the work is done. JAM RULES. Do not allow, tin, iron or pewter to touch the jam, as any of these are liable to spoil the color. Everything employed in the jam making must be scrupulously clean. The sugar must be of the best. The fruit must be gathered on a dry day, any that is imperfect or damaged being discarded. It should be just ripe. Tht jam should be boiled until on dropping a little on a plat, if jel- lies. Jam should be boiled fast to preserve the color of the fruit and kept well stirred. All scum must be carefully jre- moved as it rises. We Se Laws for Protection of the Beasts Constantly Violated. Ivory smuggling is looked upon as a very serious crime in British East Africa, and this is only as it should be, for, in order to obtain the ivory, the traders have to kill great numbers of elephants. The game preservation laws, particular- ly as regards elephants, says the Wide World Magazine, are most se- vere, and woe betide the man who is caught breaking the game regu- lations or in possession of illicit spoils of the chase. The smuggling of ivory, there- as smuggling gems and clothing in- to the United States, illicit dia- mond buying in South Africa, or other forms of smuggling in Eng- land. The rigid laws, however, do not prevent the Arabs and Indians from indulging in an illegal trade in ivory on a large scale. Many a caravan of huge elephant tusks is brought miles and miles from the interior of Central Africa to Mom- basa, and there surreptitiously smuggled out of the country in dhows or Arab sailing boats. It is the keen desire of every .po- lice and administrative official of the British East African Govern- ment to capture one of these ivory caravans, but, despite their efforts, many a consignment escapes their eagle eyes and finds its way to the markets of Zanzibar and Bombay.

The abnor- mally high mortality among infants during an extraordinary hot sum- mer occasioned the study. On comparison of various dis- tricts, all having the same climatic conditions, the milk supply and general care of infants being also practically identical, it was found that in one district the mortality was higher than in the others. In this district the houses were tightly packed, with but little open space between. In such places the air does not cool off at night during the summer, the temperature in one place remaining practically con- stantly about 30 C. A study of the effects of heat on 260 school children, between the ages of six and ten, was made, and it was found that 30 per cent. lost appreciably in weight from May to August; in 5 per cent. this loss was extreme. The cause of this was the heat stagnation during an extreme- ly warm season, the children being confined in warm schoolrooms with a high humidity over long periods during the day. In these children the effects were restlessness, lassi- tude, headache, nose bleed and similar symptoms. With shorter hours, and a vacation extending over seven weeks, the heat remain- ingMthe same, all the children re- gained their previous weight and fnost of them added to their former weight. The treatment and care of infants during the summer should not be confined to the ordinary treatment of definite diseases, but should be directed especially toward offset- ting the effects of the heat, sa; The Journal of 'the American Medi- _ cal Association.
